With all this NVIDIA news recently it was interesting to hear old interviews that popped up as one thing that was mentioned is how the founder and CEO appeared to treat his business as if they could be out of business the next day if they don’t constantly fight and innovate. It’s kind of funny as for most people they would think when you make it that big you would simply relax and just let the money come in. That hasn’t been the case from people I have seen as they constantly work non stop to maintain their success.
I think that is important so that you don’t just get complacent and think things will always be the same as if you are the only utility provider in town as an example where people pretty much have to use you. At the same time, when you are doing something that you actually enjoy and are passionate about it you tend to want to keep going and growing as big as you can because you believe in it so much. Sounds cliché but it’s true.
I think the only time I would want to do as little as possible is when I am forced to do something for the sake of having to go through the system such as taking courses in school I have no interest in. There is a line as well where if you overwork yourself as if you literally won’t have a home tomorrow then that isn’t good for your health. But overall, anything to keep you motivated is good in these ways.
